While translating the interface, I found these errors. I thought you would want
to fix them, as they
detract from the overall quality of the program.
I am not sure against which module to report each string: I notice clicking on
"officecfg" brings me to
"utilities", so I may be reporting in separate places strings belonging
together. However, I have tried
reporting them altogether, and that isn't OK either. So this is my effort. I
hope it is useful.
1. Incorrect plurals usage, grammatic error
basctl source\dlged\managelang.src 0 querybox
RID_QRYBOX_LANGUAGE 0
en-US You are about to delete the resources for the selected language(s). All
user interface strings
for this language(s) will be deleted.\n\nDo you want to delete the resources of
the selected
language(s)? Delete Language Resources 2002-02-02

This is a pseudo-plurals string which doesn't work.
- this language(s)
+ this language or these languages
which is clumsy. I suggest using a genuine plurals expression: (gettext example)
msgid "You are about to delete the resources for the selected language. All
user interface strings for
this language will be deleted.\n
\n
Do you want to delete the resources of the selected language?"
msgid_plural "You are about to delete the resources for the selected languages.
All user interface
strings for these languages will be deleted.\n
\n
Do you want to delete the resources of the selected languages?"
It is also important to remember, when creating plural strings, that some
languages don't have plurals,
and yet other languages have up to five plural cases. The gettext plurals
feature manages all this.
XLIFF does it even better.
2. Typo
basctl source\basicide\basidesh.src 0 string RID_STR_QUERYDELMACRO
1
en-US Do you want to delete the macro XX ?
2002-02-02 02:02:02
- XX ?
+ XX?
Question marks are not spaced in English.
